The human body can be likened to a river. When it flows freely, its waters are clear and unpolluted. However, when there is obstruction, such as when a major site is blocked, the river no longer flows freely. This obstruction leads to the accumulation of waste and toxins, which in turn causes the formation of nodules in the lymphatic system. This is a crucial aspect, especially in the abdomen of every individual.
The obstruction in the abdomen can disrupt hormonal balance. Moreover, many waste products accumulate in the large and small intestines, including undigested food that accumulates in the large intestine. The small intestine does not accumulate undigested food, but what accumulates there?
The small intestine accumulates fluid-like substances, similar to water. When the body is congested and drainage is not smooth, this fluid is also not fully expelled through urine but accumulates in the abdomen and the small intestine.
When both the large and small intestines fail to empty, toxins will accumulate. Imagine placing a bottle of water here and observing it for a week. The water will still be clear and clean. However, if you leave this bottle of water for more than 3 months, six months, or even 5 to 10 years, imagine how the water will look. It may have algae, become cloudy, and even turn black. This represents the toxins in the body.
As a result of these toxins, various diseases arise in the body. The lymphatic system then becomes too active and essentially says, “Thank you, now I can roam freely, turn over all your bones, penetrate your bones, infiltrate the middle of your joints, and mess up your entire body.” This throws the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys completely off balance. The whole system is no longer in a normal state, leading to a poor mindset, lethargy, and poor sleep. A poor mental state is reflected in a person’s face, which looks tired and gloomy every day.
The steps of getting sick

Ultimately, if the obstruction is severe and too many nodules form, these nodules can transform. For instance, if they are in the chest, they may develop into breast cancer, and if they are in the uterus, they may develop into uterine cancer. This is the root cause of disease formation.
Traditional Chinese medicine, as a comprehensive and profound discipline, has its own set of theories regarding the causes of diseases in the human body. According to Chinese medicine, the disease process unfolds as follows: Deficiency, Cold, Dampness, Stagnation, Blood stasis, Obstruction, Nodules, Cancer.
Cold and damp conditions are the origin of various diseases. Leading a healthy life is not wasteful; it is “extending life, sustaining life.” Health is a form of responsibility.
